How To Create EXT Packages for New Style Kitchen:

Download the EXT_Package_Tools.zip below and extract the two exe files inside to the <TOOLS> folder of the Kitchen.

If you have a cab, run Cab2OEM.exe on it first. Otherwise, goto step 3.

Run EXT_Packages_Rebuilder.exe on the OEM Package directory.

Place the resulting folder in the <EXT\Herman\Common\*> Directory it belongs in.

Example:

Open two explorer windows. Have one window open to the <TOOLS> directory of the Kitchen. Have the other window opened to the directory containing your CAB or Original OEM Package.

Now, if its a CAB, drag the CAB file and drop it on top of Cab2OEM.exe. This will open a command prompt and close it. You should now have a folder in the Explorer window containing the CAB file.

Make sure the folder contains all the files, including the *.rgu file, etc. Now Take that entire folder and drop it on top of EXT_Packages_Builder.exe (Drag the Folder, not the files inside, but the ROOT folder). This should restructure the Folder created in step 2 to have a <files> folder inside of it that contains all the files for the Package, including any .provxmls. There will also be an <app.dat> and <app.reg> file (if applicable). The <app.dat> is the old "initflashfiles.txt". The <app.reg> is the old "*.rgu".

Now check the reg file and make sure it looks setup properly. Cab2OEM.exe likes to bork registry files sometimes. So I would look over this carefully. After you're sure its good, move the folder to the appropriate area in <EXT\Herman\COMMON>. Load up your fav ROM pref from my Kitchen. Scroll down to your package and make sure its "TRUE". Cook and be done.

EXT Package Folder Structure:

<Root Folder> - Name of Package

--<files> - Folder that contains all files that will be installed to \Windows

--<app.dat> - The old <initflashfiles.dat>, contains instructions to copy files, etc.

--<app.reg> - Contains all registry entries for the Package.

You should enjoy that keg mate. Good work :) I did wonder when you would be bringing this kitchen out after noticing your posts in the original thread (I own a GSM Raph but have been thinking of cooking roms for CDMA aswell and wasnt sure if it was possible).

EDIT: Oh yeah, I have quite a good copy of Xboxmods new Manilla port in EXT packages if you want a copy that works in this kitchen :)
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
I have been debating adding XBoxMod's TF3D2 for a while now. I have seen it cause some issues in other kitchens, so have been very skeptical of adding it until more stability is shown.

However, I wouldn't mind throwing it in my test kitchen and firing off a test build to see how it runs for a day or two. Getting off TF3D and onto TF3D2 (Rhodium!!) would be my next logical step, and very much worth it.

The reason it took so long for me to release this is my own perfectionism. I can't stand to release something that isn't nearly flawless. I have had it "almost finished" for about a week. Then I would notice another issue and have to fix that. Then another, and another. Most were very minor (sounds would not list properly in settings, mortscript wouldn't delete from autorun, provxml's would backfire, etc). I finally set a goal of having it released by this weekend, regardless of status. Luckily I feel this is in great shape as most of the issues I have found are resolved.

Thanks for the support!
[Touch Pro CDMA] B4PJS:
These are the packages that I cook by default into my ROM. The main thing with this kitchen is that it seems to crash when you try overwriting a module with a file, in TF3D2 there is a taskmanager.exe that tries to replace the original module which is why the kitchen dies when cooking, in my version I have just removed the exe and all works fine :)

EDIT: Here is the link!! TF3D2_EXT_Package
[Touch Pro CDMA] xombi:
Is there any way you can make this an installable RO for the Fuze? I know it's a kitchen, but the only computers i have access to are the ones at work at this time, and I don't want to install anything to them. I love the taskbar icons!

BTW - what color is the selected items?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro CDMA] B4PJS:
Check the first post...

21501 VGA WWE ROM for Sprint TP - Beta 1

And then you just need to find the keyboard fixes for the Fuze :)
[Touch Pro CDMA] xombi:
Uh... you can't just flash a Sprint ROM to an AT&T phone. Doesn't work like that. One is GSM, other is CDMA.

Someone else correct me if I'm wrong.
[Touch Pro CDMA] B4PJS:
Ummm, we ARE in the CDMA thread....
[Touch Pro CDMA] xombi:
Why isn't this posted in the CDMA section then?

This section is designated for GSM phones only.
[Touch Pro CDMA] gmgonzal:
Are we? This thread should be in the Raphael CDMA Forum.
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
I stand corrected. Mod's, please delete this post. Thank you scotchua! :D

Wrong thread

I see bad things happening with this being in the GSM forum. I see nebies flashing this to their Fuze and bricking there phones. This should be moved to CDMA. One quick question why do we have a CDMA forum and a separate GSM forum if we are going to allow CDMA in the GSM forum.??????????:confused:
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
I stand corrected. The moderator's have spoken and this thread has been moved to the proper location. Now if they can clean off the "Wrong Forum" posts, we'll be in business! :D

Thank you for so forcefully pointing out it was in the wrong location. The Forums for the Raphael area a bit misleading.
[Touch Pro CDMA] afripino:
I don't mind being the guinea pig on this. I'm having some issues with Mighty Rom 5 anyways, so hopefully this ROM addresses some of those. Any known issues? Thanks!

P.S. If this ROM bricks my phone....watch your back. j/k. :D

btw: I have a Sprint Touch Pro

----------------------------------------------

Edit:

Just got done flashing and hard resetting. So far, so good. I like the fact that Titanium Weather is already installed. Any chance of getting ATContacts in the ROM? I know I can install it, but I'm just saying... Thanks!
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
@djbeames

Good work, pal! Now, considering the amount of misinformation floating around in the whole Raphael section, you may want to link to my first post in this section (This Sticky). This contains all the needed stuff to HardSPL and flash the roms. I know that you are familiar with PPCGeeks, but a lot of poeple aren't, so giving them instructions on how to do it will probably save a few people from either bricking their devices or simply from posting questions such as "how do I put this in my phone?"

Again, good work and it is great to finally see some Chefs in the Herman section :D!
[Touch Pro CDMA] Da_G:
Great work, linking from my thread

:)
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
Thank you for trying it! But, trust me, you are NOT the guinea pig. I have my wife and my touch pro's I try it all on first. Then I have a couple friends that also have them. Between the 4 to 5 of us, we thoroughly test it all. I have been developing this initial release for quite some time now. See below...

Btw, let me know how it goes. I'm here to fix things and make improvements and adjustments. As far as ATContacts is concerned, hit me up with a link and I will check it out. At the very least I might add it to the kitchen as an external package.

Consider it done. As soon as I get home for the evening I will post more information in the OP and link to your sticky. Thank you for pointing it out.

Edit: Done. XDA was down all night, so I didn't get it added until this morning. Thank you again for putting that info together. Good documentation.

Yep. We finally did it, eh Da_G? Thanks for all you have done on this kitchen. It truly is because of your willingness to share, this has been released.
[Touch Pro CDMA] BrianPAdams:
I second this.
[Touch Pro CDMA] eric12341:
Omg im having serious problems with the energy rom, and the worst thing is htc's site seems to be down so i cant go back to the 2.01 rom, does anyone have it
[Touch Pro CDMA] GrahamHill:
Id like to try this ROM also if someone could host it somewhere?
[Touch Pro CDMA] afripino:
So far, so good. Just trying to figure my way around the customized layout of icons / menu options / etc. I was a little confused as to where we need to access Settings from in TF3D since All Settings doesn't get us there anymore, but I figured you wanted us to use the Start Menu instead. Kudos on that decision.

ATContacts can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=506221

Battery consumption is not bad at all.

I'll keep evaluating, but I haven't had to soft reset for any reason yet (besides software installations). I did notice that my alarm didn't go off this morning even though I had it set. May just be a one time thing though. We'll see. Thanks again for this AWESOME ROM!
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
Thank you!! I hope more people realize this thread is here. I am not a huge fan of PPCG, but I might have to break down and post over there too. I have been an XDA lurker for a long long time, but finally got an HTC Titan last summer and joined XDA. :D

If you don't mind, could you test that alarm some more for me? Maybe set it to go off in like 15 minutes. If that works, try setting it an hour or two away. See if that works. Also, check to make sure the sound you are using is playing. I am hoping my audio file (wma) issue hasn't raised its ugly head again. I was having issues with the ringtones not wanting to stay working. The Sounds&Notifications options would go dumb on me and make it to where all WMA ringtones were "corrupt", but yet they would play fine in WMP. I think I fixed that, but this might be another part of it I didn't anticipate.

I use Chronos for my alarm clock, so I haven't tested the WMo built in alarm. I'll also do testing. Let me know what you find out.

Spread the word man, feel free to post a link back to this thread on other forums (if that forum allows). I have worked very hard on this ROM to make it as stable and efficient as possible. I am going to post a "bare bones" ROM later this evening that will not have any preinstalled programs. It will basically be a WinMo 6.5 build with phone essential drivers and programs. (Ex: OEMDrivers, OEMApps, APM, Camera, Carrier, Gsensor, Concurr Man, FSP, Longpress end, mHub, pic enhance, sensorsdk, sharedll, smarttouch, usbtopc, tvpopout). It will basically be everything in OEM only. Nothin from EXT. This will drop the rom size considerably. Shouldn't really enhance performance, but will create a very clean base for people to run their own apps and customizations via cab installs via SdAutoRun or manual.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Zoidborg:
Found problem

This is minor and probably overlooked by most, but the Teeter game doesn't install correctly. The icon is there but it is the standard icon and the program cannot be found. That seems to be the most obvious issue I found so far, so I'd say things look pretty good here.

I want to try a few options to address a couple of issues; I think they can be dealth with. If not, at that point I'll mention it. Thanks.
[Touch Pro CDMA] boomerxyz:
Teeter doesn't work on my Sprint (CDMA) TP either. Also, though the icons on the top start menu bar (not sure what that's called) are pretty and all, but it is difficult to understand some of them mean and others are hard to read, such as signal strength and Ev/1X. Can you build in to your kitchen a choice of start menu icon sets (such as Juggalo's icon set at http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=49341). I find these clear and easy to read. There may be a .cab file to change these icons. If so, please let me know. Thanks!! Great work!! :) :)

P.S. Hope they add some sort of customization into the start menu in WM 6.5... Kind of sucks with out it.
[Touch Pro CDMA] garyf:
I am also on Sprint and verify that Teeter does not work.

Can anyone give me instructions about how to put opera into the titanium and remove internet explorer?

Another question, is there another launcher besides the start menu?

Last question, is it possible to customize the start menu beyond pressing items for three seconds and sending them to the top one by one?

Hope this is not too many questions.

This is a great rom. So far this is the happiest I've been with my Sprint Touch Pro.
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
What other issues are you having? Maybe I can help. See Below for Teeterfix.

As far as Teeter goes, see below. Now for the Taskbar icons. These are some of the only ones that work PROPERLY with WM6.5. Others work, but are missing some functionality. I will look into a better set, but this was just to get me going and get the crappy white ones gone. I had to do some fixes just to get this set to work.

Another thing you can do is download the kitchen and just DISABLE "Tsowen's Winmo 6.5 Taksbar". This will build a kitchen with stock CDMA icons. Or you can wait for me to create cabs of the newer styles (if they work), or release them in a later kitchen/ROM. :D

I am planning on adding a "Bare Bones" ROM release later today. This will include just the base WinMo system, CDMA requirements, basic device functionality programs and my registry edits and various device customization and stability fixes. It will leave the rest open to you to customize your way, via cabs. I will post CAB files for what I have here, so you can install what you want.

Dunno. I'll look into it. Because I use Opera more than anything. Except heavily flashed pages.

Maybe? I haven't really looked. With the Honeycomb, WM6.5 has made a big step forward from the old start menu. IMHO, I think it is much better. It took a little getting used to, but now I can't STAND to not have it. The first thing I did when I got my TP (after the titan), was flash WinMo 6.5 of some sort. I couldn't take not having the large icon'd start menu. I am going to add a cab to the first page that will make the Start Menu Honeycomb 4 columns instead of 3. Some people that are having issues with the new start menu like to have the 4 for some reason. Helps the transition I suppose.

Yes, it is possible. They are registry edits. Each item in the start menu has a order priority set to it. This will affect the order they are displayed in. I think I found a customization program one day while surfing. I can't remember where it was or what the name was, but I do remember it was a GUI interface for "re-ordering" the start menu. No, you are not asking too many questions, this is what we (or at least I) are/am here for! Keep them coming! And thanks for the feedback.

Ok.. TEETER! Sheesh.. I have it fixed with a cab. Please install this to "device".

http://rapidshare.com/files/227235310/DeCiBeL_Teeter-Fix.cab

EDIT: Check Post 2 for attachment cab download. Non-rapidshare. :)

For some reason the exe and mui didn't get added through the Kitchen. They are completely missing from the EXT folder. If you need these files for your kitchens (and don't know how to extract files from cabs), message me. I'll rar the two files up and post them.
[Touch Pro CDMA] boomerxyz:
Feedback... Continued

Ok.. So I installed the original rom and then installed the rom minus the icons I discussed in a previous post. No I'm back to the original WM taskbar icons, which I like better. In both installations, I noticed a few more bugs. Here they are:

The Phone Settings screen (Start | Settings | Personal | Phone Settings) is not displaying the tabs and freezes (I have an image but can't post it). This happened in both rom installations. It displays an error message "The ring tone file is corrupted or unavailable. Please choose a different ring tone." and does this for any ringtone I choose. I got it to work some how on the first rom installation but cannot get it to work on the second at all. There is no ring tone for incoming calls. I'll tried to re-load the ringtones (I have them downloaded on my SD card) and see if that fixes the problem, but it is giving me an access denied error when I attempt to paste over the existing ones. I'll play with that bit more.

Many of the programs links, such as QuickGPS and others, do not work. Not sure why.

I look forward to your clean WM 6.5 rom and seperate cab files. Maybe some of these applications are interfering with each others and causing problems.

Cosmetic Changes:

Can you move the Edit menu in File Explorer up top? This seems to be the most used menu item, but you have to scroll to get it.

Can you provide the location of the registry keys to the Start menu items to rearrange them? They need some rangling.

If you can come up with a quick toggle roaming on/off (toggle Home Only and Standard B) feature for us Sprint users with poor coverage, you'd be a hero!! :-)

Keep up the work, man.... You are getting there!
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
Found the fix for the ringtone issue, FINALLY. I will have to upload it later, as I am at work right now. But, if you have a registry editor on your device, DELETE the key:

[HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds]
"Ringtones"=BLAH

Delete that Value, the whole key actually. So there should be no values stored in that folder. The "Ringtones" key should be gone. I do not know how this got back into the kitchen, as I deleted that value from the .reg's/.rgu's/.provxml's already. It must have snuck back in when I restored a folder or file. I'll fix it in the kitchen and upload a cab fix for the devices later today.

As for the links, I am not sure what causes that. I have been researching it, but haven't found a definitive answer. The only real "work-around" i have for it right now is to soft reset. It fixes it, and sometimes it returns (well, once it did), and most of the time it doesn't. It might be a permissions issue, and it might be a registry setting getting borked during a 3rd party app install. Check to make sure the following registry settings are still set properly:

[HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies]
"1005"=dword:1
"1006"=dword:1
"1007"=dword:8

If they aren't, what programs have you installed? The only one that would really make a huge difference here would be 1005, it is the one that controls unsigned app launching. 1006 is for isntallation of unsigned apps and 1007 is for unsigned home/today screens. If they are correct, then just soft reset and it should resolve it. Again, I'm still looking into it.

Move the Edit menu up? Check.. I'll get on that tonight. I didn't realize it was moved to page 2.

Start menu keys:

[HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\*.lnk]
Rank=dword:########

Quick toggle for Roaming stuff? Sure. Piece of cake. Let me dust off my old C or .NET and fire up VB. Just a simple application that loads up and asks what setting you want right? It will have what its currently set to as selected radio button, then what you can change to as others. Then a "Set" and "cancel" button. I'll add that to my "to-do" list.
[Touch Pro CDMA] savior02:
wheres 21215? its already out for gsm fuze
[Touch Pro CDMA] garyf:
Wow.

Thanks for the response. Teeter is back.

I've put a bunch of nested folders into my /windows/start menu folder so that I don't have to scroll down.

I don't know how you all use TP's push-scroll. Either it pushes too far, or it doesn't move at all or worse, about one time in 5, instead of scrolling, it clicks where my finger first touched and opens a program I didn't want.

One thing, and I'm not sure what the wording is, but I've installed a text editor and somehow when I've installed text editors or other programs that need to access the the file system, the open file dialog box has in the past had a hierarchical list of folders, that also showed folders such as the windows folder.

I think the wm standard file open dialog box gives a flat list of approved folders on the device and in the storage. I think it is system-wide and there are programs that improve the default file open menus.

Can anyone point me to a cab that will do that, if I've expressed what I'm asking for?
[Touch Pro CDMA] boomerxyz:
Thanks for the fix on the ring-tones. I'll let you know how it works. I installed the thrid rom with out the taskbar icons and the HTC volume control (I hate it). The Phone Settings tabs issue is still hit and miss (mostly miss).

I would still like to get into the Start menu registry items, so if you can clue me into where those are located, I'd appreciate it.

There are some SMS issues I am experiencing. (1) Balloon/popup notifications sometimes (usually) appear blank. This occurs for new SMS's and missed phone call notifications. (2) When going into SMS to reply, it would be nice if the focus would be set on the SMS reply input box. You must click on the input box to type in your reply, which isn't hard, just annoying. (3) The text in the SMS reply box is very, very small. Can that be made bigger? I can make the recieved/sent messages bigger using the wheel, but not the text in the input box. (4) The new SMS notification indicator does not always turn off when you read, and even after replying to a new SMS.

The issue with the icons in the start menu seems hit and miss too. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I've only installed Total Commander, but that is working fine.

I'm going to try to work on the roaming toggle using MortScript. Never seen that program before and it might be useful. Finally, it appears the official release of WM 6.5 is on 5/11 so maybe some of these bugs are addressed in that official release and maybe they will have a way to configure the Start menu. Not holdign my breath though... it is Microsoft after all. :) :)

P.S. The DWords entries were fine.

Hi,after install your flash and hard reset,mobile shows on display "Touch PRO" and stops
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
Are you using Kitchen or ROM? Did it boot the first time (right after the flash)?
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
OK. I just wanted to update everyone on the status of things...

I currently have the 21502 and 21215 sys's. The difference in them is the 21502 is an pure MS internal build, 21215 is an HTC branched build. I currently am having horrible fits getting 21215 to load anything. Boots fine, runs windows fine, but eZinput SIP, sounds, etc do not work. They show to be installed, but don't work. No errors in logs. I will be doing further research on that build later. The more promising is the 21502 build. It's working a lot better, but the "Ringtone is corrupt" problem is back. I also get more "blank notifications". So if I post up this sys right now, you all will have to suffer through some major issues in my book. I should have a better feel for what is going on by this evening. I have some ideas I am trying out, will let you know what I discover.

Thanks for hanging in there on this one. I don't like releasing poor quality.

Ask these questions in that thread. This thread is for CDMA ONLY!! The link you posted is to Da_G's GSM kitchen. You need to use his and ask your questions in his thread.

Enter bootloader is actually POWER+VOL-DOWN+RESET. Same process as you show, but you need to be pressing the power button as well.

21215 is from the Tachi. That's why we're getting all of these issues with that build. The 2150X builds are extremely similar to the 212XX builds the only difference being that the 2150X builds work. Also, I have one question: is this a modified SYS meant to work with G'Reloc? Those modified SYSs seem to be causing many people tons of misery. :D
